Today, at a red light, an old lady crossing the street fell right in front of my car. I got out of my car to help her. The light turned green and I was still helping the woman to her feet. An officer came by and ticketed me for "impeding the flow of traffic." FML

Today, I got pulled over for speeding and got a $200 ticket. After I pulled away, I decided to warn the next car about the cop up ahead by flashing my headlights. The next car was another cop. He didn't appreciate my "help". FML
Today, I was at a stop light when I saw a cute police officer at the light across the intersection. Trying to be cute as I drove by, I turned and winked and waved. The car in front of me stopped, I rear-ended them, and then I got rear-ended. The cute cop winked back, then wrote me a ticket. FML

Well OP wrote it with minimalist detail. I think that OP left their car in the lane and helped the lady, which is illegal no matter what. I'm sure that if OP moved their car next to the sidewalk then helped the lady it'd be fine. really the cop is just doing their job. of course that was all hypothetical. I just find annoying that all the cop FML stories leave out almost 90% of any reasoning. so think before u blame a cop pls?

Instead of the cop helpin he pulls out the ticket book. If they are anything like NYC cops they are going to try meeting quotas! If the lady had stayed on the floor she would have been impeding traffic, so what you said doesn't make sense.

Why did you get out of your car? Don't you realise how incredibly dangerous that is? You're lucky you're still alive.
